Celtic vs Rangers LIVE: Scottish League Cup final latest goals and Old Firm updates in extra time
The first silverware of the Scottish season is on the line as the Old Firm rivals collide in the Scottish League Cup final.
Celtic and Rangers meet at Hampden Park as the competition’s two most successful clubs renew hostilities in Glasgow. Philippe Clement may be yet to test victory in this fixture since arriving at Ibrox but it is his side who are the defending champions after a narrow win against Aberdeen last December. Their hopes of victory today were also boosted by a highly encouraging showing in the Europa League, with a draw against Tottenham the latest in a string of good performances in Europe.
Domestically, though, it is the defending Scottish Premiership champions who are streaking clear. Celtic are yet to lose in the league this season and are already nine points clear of their closest challengers with a game in hand. Having missed out on this trophy last year, Brendan Rodgers will be looking to keep his hopes of winning a third treble at the club alive having previously achieved the feat in both 2017 and 2018.

ET 110’ – Celtic 3-3 Rangers
James Forrest has come on at some point, presumably in the break, Celtic’s sixth sub – there’s one more allowed in extra time remember. Kuhn has gone off. Scales wallops a shot off-target and Raskin is down with cramp, needing a moment.

ET 106′ – Celtic 3-3 Rangers
Back underway and we have 15 minutes to find a winner, or else we head to penalties.
Dujon Sterling is called up for handball as Maeda looks to race beyond him and it’s another booking, the seventh of the day for Rangers if a quick count-up is accurate. Celtic have three as well.

ET HT – Celtic 3-3 Rangers
A couple of late pushes for crosses from Rangers but no real trouble for Schmeichel, or indeed Butland at the other end.
Perhaps the first time since the hour mark or so, when the game kind of drifted and was allowed to see the ball passed around without any deliberate attempt to pile forward.
Half time in extra time, three apiece.

ET 102’ – Celtic 3-3 Rangers
Approaching the interval in extra time and not too many sights of goal since we got back underway, certainly nothing like the goalfest of the second half of 90 minutes.
Dessers’ first action in the final is to clatter Carter-Vickers late and he’s booked before taking a touch.

ET 98’ – Celtic 3-3 Rangers
Celtic just trying to get a bit more control in the game over the last few minutes and Hatate feeds a lovely ball through for Engels who makes a diagonal run into the box – but his first touch is heavy and Butland is able to snare it before the shot comes in. At the other end Tavernier is played into a great area but blazes a cross miles beyond his teammates when composure was required.
Igamane has Been subbed off for Rangers, Cyriel Dessers is on for him.

ET 94’ – Celtic 3-3 Rangers
Scales loses the ball and follows it up by dragging down his man – there was a tug on the shorts and that must be right on the line of being a penalty. Free-kick on the edge of the box is given. Hagi and Cerny are over it…Tavernier takes it instead and whips one over the bar.
Scales was booked for that foul, Igamane gets another now for a late sliding tackle.

ET 91’ – Celtic 3-3 Rangers
Celtic sub, Alex Valle on for Taylor before we get back underway.

FT – Celtic 3-3 Rangers
A succession of crosses and corners for Rangers in the final stages, with Hagi playing a key role in the closing stages, but they can’t quite find a clear sight on goal to clinch it late, late on.
The ref allows one more delivery and then the whistle goes – it’s full time and we’ll have extra time next.
Kuhn thought he’d won it, Danilo dragged it back. What a wild finish to the game!
Full time – extra time to follow

90’+2 – Celtic 3-3 Rangers
Into stoppage time and Celtic pushing on once more. Have they got another goal in them or can Rangers find a way to push on and take the lead again themselves? Carter-Vickers now goes into the book for a strong follow-through on his tackle.
Hagi skips past a tackle and frees Danilo, it comes back to Hagi…blocked behind and a corner for Rangers. It’s cleared, Celtic try to break, Tavernier hauls down his man for another blatant yellow.

GOAL! 88’ – Celtic 3-3 Rangers
Absolutely astonishing! Rangers back on level terms 20 seconds after kick-off!! A delivery from the right is high and central, Danilo – just on the pitch – rises highest and buries a magnificent header past Schmeichel to make it 3-3!
Six minutes added on, Raskin booked for a blatant foul.
